Description
Overview
The Discus Vinex LoSpin 750gm is a training discus for PE athletics units and junior club sessions. Its steel rim carries 70% of the total weight, the Lo Spin balance: enough rim mass to fly cleanly, without the fast rotation that competition throwers chase.
The blue ABS plastic side plates are made for repeated throws on the school field rather than record attempts. It sits alongside the other weights in the discus range, so you can build a set that covers every year group, and it is part of the wider Vinex range of throwing implements.
Key benefits
- Easier for beginners to control, because the Lo Spin balance rotates more slowly in flight.
- Stands up to heavy class use with a steel rim and ABS plastic side plates.
- Weight matches the 11 to 13 year age band in the discus weight guide.
- Blue side plates are easy to spot in long grass and sort from other weights.
Who it's for
Choose this weight for boys aged 11–12 and girls aged 11–13, following the discus weight guide. It is a training implement for PE classes, school athletics days and junior club practice, not a competition discus for senior grades.
Once throwers move into the 13 to 15 age band they step up to the Discus Vinex Lo Spin 1kg. Athletes who want more spin at that weight can look at the Discus Vinex Hi-Spin 1kg instead.
Sizing guide
The Discus Weight Guide lists 750 g for boys 11–12 years and girls 11–13 years. Below it, 500 g covers 8–10 years; above it, 1 kg covers boys 13–15 and girls 13–17.
Care, safety and set-up
Wipe grass and mud off the rim and side plates after use and store it dry in a bag or bin. Products carry the store's 12-month guarantee, and quantity pricing applies when you buy a set of weights for a school.
